Interesting your thoughts about being an advocate for the mentally ill. In my other life, I was working for child protective services. I used to get so frustrated with some of the families I worked with. Going through this myself has given me new insight and has been humbling. Thought I had all the answers. Obviously, I did not.

I was thinking just today about volunteering to go back to my workplace, and speaking to my former colleagues about my own experience in order to give them some of the same insight. I hope I soon have the strength to do that. Thank you for your response
